As support plans become more personalised and holistic, support workers find their routines changing in ways they might not have imagined before.

We’re looking for people with specialised skills around a person’s disability but also people who can follow the participant’s interests. For example, if a person you support wants to go sailing – then you will too.

Career pathways

There are many pathways to a career in disability. To get started, you don’t need any special experience – in fact, the best experience is your life experience!

We can help you with training and development once you're on board. Depending on your interests, you can gain specialist qualifications in things like administering medication and supporting people with dementia, just to name a couple.

You do need your working with vulnerable people card and a current police check.
